DTI-226-300 Indexing Conveyor Oven
CUSTOMER DIRECTIVE
Our customer wanted to create an indexing single part flow inert atmosphere production furnace system to match, and seamlessly integrate into, the customer’s entire existing manufacturing process at a production rate of 45 seconds part to part. The customer’s then existing process included inefficient batch furnace staging of parts at this point in the process.
DESCRIPTION
This conveyor oven cures drum brake linings clamped in form fixtures for the proper shape. The heated chamber is divided into four independent zones of temperature control. Airflow within the oven is vertical down to the product on the conveyor. The conveyor extends beyond the chamber on each end for loading and unloading. The conveyor operates in an index configuration for travel, and includes vertical doors at each end and between each zone. The vertical doors open and close each time the conveyor indexes, minimizing heat loss.
